About the Item

This striking character cast in aluminum was created by Paul Duval. The Quebec artist has sculpted a series of characters; each one unique in colour, gesture, and form. This table top piece appears to be a male figure, clothed in shorts and wearing boots; his head proudly held high gazing upwards; his arms behind his back, hands clasped. ‘Timide’ means shy in French. “This medium brings out attitudes, emotions, group relations or even wounds.” Paul Duval He is a member of the Canadian Sculptors Society and of the Conseil de la sculpture du Québec.
